Alternative PHP Cache, or APC, is a module for Apache servers which is employed to cache the output code of script apps. It is very efficient for scripts with large source code and can speed up such a website as much as 3 times. PHP websites are dynamic and whenever a website visitor accesses some page, the script hooks up to a database to get some content, then the code is parsed and compiled before it's displayed to the visitor. If the output code does not change however, that's the case with sites which show the very same content all of the time, such actions result in unnecessary reading and writing. What APC does is that it caches the already compiled code and delivers it any time visitors browse an Internet site, so the database doesn't have to be accessed and the program code doesn't have to be parsed and compiled repeatedly, which consequently minimizes the website loading time. The module could be quite effective for informational Internet sites, blogs, portfolios, etcetera.
